She has a point

Maria tagged me for this meme by recognizing I might need a break from thoughtful posts given I'm fresh back on the blogging scene but fresh off the "throwing yourself into a whole other world" scene. So, here goes:

INSTRUCTIONS: Remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. Then add your blog to the bottom slot, like so.

A Blog of a Good TimeClassy & Fancy[Cherry] Ride/5of9erAiramMy so-called love life

Select five people to tag: I make it a policy not to tag people but I'd love to see Peter, Lisa, Heather, Eve and Natalie do this (I guess I'm not very principled in my policy setting).

What were you doing 10 years ago?

I spent the summer before my senior year of high school housesitting and staying with friends in the Bay Area so I could be closer to my boyfriend. I nannyed for a little girl, took ballet and got my first pager. The pager made me feel more or less like a rockstar.

What were you doing 1 year ago?

Starting my blog and stumbling blindly through the dating game which I thought I wanted to be a part of, but most often resulted in me feeling like my heart had been stepped on.

1. Erase any and all debt that I, my parents and my siblings have (GREAT ANSWER MARIA!)2. Set up a trust or foundation for any number of my philanthropic interests3. Set up a travel account that would generate enough on a yearly basis to send me wherever I wanted to go (and go to grad school abroad)4. Open up savings bonds for my nieces and nephews so they won't need to worry about paying for their university education. (ANOTHER GREAT ANSWER I'M STEALING FROM MARIA)5. Buy a house in Costa Rica

I feel ya - I only do the ones that ask new questions, or something I think might shed a bit more light on the author of this so-called blog :) I think sometimes people wonder about who they're reading, but we only share certain pieces of ourselves in our posts - memes can every once in awhile offer some insight we might leave out in our general writing. But then again, sometimes they just take up space - that's why I don't like anyone to feel like they have to do them!
